Pray for Operation Christmas Child
As we discover how God will work through these shoeboxes, may we always keep our eyes on Him. Prayer is another important way to partner with OCC and be a part of the ministry.
Dr. Billy Graham, renowned evangelist and the father of Franklin Graham, was once asked by a young evangelist,
“What are the most important steps for a successful ministry?”
Dr. Graham’s replied: “There were three things that mattered most,”
“Prayer, Prayer And Prayer.”
Prayer is our best weapon of offense and defense, and our ministry begin and end with prayer. Join us as we ask for God’s hand on all aspects of Operation Christmas Child.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 NKJV
